GCP & Multi-Cloud Platform Engineering • GenAI & Automation for Developer Autonomy • 50K+ GitHub Contributions
I design and deliver cloud-native platforms that increase reliability, developer autonomy, and speed-to-delivery. I combine platform engineering, production-grade cloud architecture, and GenAI-driven automation to translate complex problems into scalable, maintainable systems with measurable business impact.
At Thoughtworks, I deliver GCP platform capabilities and self-service tooling for enterprise teams—focusing on production readiness, observability, and automation that lowers cognitive load and standardizes high-quality delivery. Currently working with LATAM Airlines' eMantto organization within Platform Engineering's TechLabs Team, building Terraform Cloud workspace models, monorepo strategies, and self-service capabilities that enable teams to operate infrastructure with less overhead.
As Founder & Product Engineer at KaiNext, I build end-to-end solutions for SMEs and tech initiatives, working across GCP, AWS, and other clouds. I implement cloud-native services in Python, Java, and Node.js, use FastAPI/NestJS/Laravel where appropriate, and apply TDD and hexagonal architecture to ensure long-term operability.
Current focus: Applying GenAI and automation to accelerate delivery pipelines, reduce operational toil, and enable teams to ship stable software faster with greater autonomy.
